Do you need a provisional license to register for theory test?
« on: October 05, 2015, 09:38:57 PM »
Hi all,

My US license is still valid and I want to get my UK license before the 12 months are up. I tried to register for the theory test today and saw that you have to provide a provisional license number.

Does that mean I have to spend the 35£ and time to get a provisional license even though I can still drive on my US one?

Thanks, 
Max

Yep, to take the test you need the provisional license even if you can drive on your US one. You can apply online and save a few pounds if you want to.

Yes, a provisional licence is a requirement for all sections of the UK driving test..

You'll need to apply for a provisional licence before you can start the process of getting your UK licence.

Yep....need the provisional. It's a pain.....but it is what you need to do. Sending the passport off was a bit of a worry for me.......don't like it out of my reach just in case.
